The Fifth Annual SiriusDecisions ROI awards were presented to the following executives on behalf of the three winning companies:

SiriusDecisions selected the members of the ROI Award Class of 2011 based on their successful utilization of a threefold strategy for sales and marketing alignment. The winners were chosen based on their unique integration of sales and marketing processes, interdependent relationship between sales and marketing, strong alignment of goals between sales and marketing and their ability to leverage advanced systems to enable alignment and their ability to measure results effectively.
“Our Summit theme is ‘BtoB Sales and Marketing: Forging a New Alliance,’ and this group of recipients have done a great job of putting that theme into practice — leveraging an integrated sales and marketing strategy and demonstrating that the execution of that strategy has supported strong corporate financial performance,” said Richard Eldh, SiriusDecisions Managing Director, Co-Founder and Conference Chair.
